More quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
Favours out of place I regard as positive injuries.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Can there be greater foolishness than the respect you pay to people collectively when you despise them individually?
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I will go further, and assert that nature without culture can often do more to deserve praise than culture without nature.
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Marcus Tullius Cicero
While there's life, there's hope.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
The roots of knowledge are bitter, but its fruit are sweet.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
There were poets before Homer.

The name of peace is sweet and the thing itself good, but between peace and slavery there is the greatest difference.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
